Answers about Benghazi do make a difference

May 20, 2013

The last week, highlighted by Benghazi testimony, has apparently resulted in various media members coming out of their comas. Some doubt has actually been expressed about Jay Carney's truthfulness, particularly on Benghazi. Hopefully some in this audience might also catch on.

Watching the testimony of Greg Hicks, I was reminded of two scenes in "Saving Private Ryan." In the first, a black car approaches the Ryan farm and the mother realizes that another son has been killed. Jump ahead to the Dover, Del., ceremony returning the bodies where President Obama et al. promised the families answers but has since apparently ignored their plight completely. At the same time, the survivors have been "sequestered" and for all we know may be held at Guantanamo.

In the second scene from the movie, Gen. Marshall was informed that the Ryan family has only one remaining son "in theater" and launches an all-out rescue. Imagine if he had instead said: "What difference does it make?"

Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demoted Hicks, who was reprimanded for talking to Rep. Jason Chaffetz without a lawyer present. Is this not a cover-up? It was recently reported that Obama's former political adviser, David Axelrod, said the Benghazi story is "BS." That says it all.
